Answer:

Gothic.

Explanation:

Modern day thrillers could be said to be an extension or adaptation of the earlier 18th and 19th century form of literature called “gothic”. This latter one employed a combination of horror, a detective-like narrative (like in Poe), death and mystery, and at times even romance, to explore themes of the human psyche and the potential of science. As such, it is easy to see how contemporary thrillers are inspired in that earlier form of fiction.

In this scene Juliet is talking about waking in the vault after the drugs that help her fake her death wear off. She describes the tomb as a scary place with ghosts and terrible smells.

A child behaving wildly is not good for a quiet dinner. The behavior would ruin, or spoil, it.

Why did the author choose to provide this fictional account of Iqbal Masih, who was a real person? Check all that apply.
vladimir1956 [14]

Hello there,

Why did the author choose to provide this fictional account of Iqbal Masih, who was a real person? Check all that apply.

Story:

My first impression was that he was handsome. Then I thought, No, he isn't really good-looking. But he had such eyes. They were sweet and deep and they weren't afraid. He was standing at the threshold of the workroom with Hussain Khan's enormous hand gripping his arm and we were all looking at him. The fourteen of us child-slaves plus Karim, all observing another slave. He was one of the many who had come and gone over the years, but we felt that somehow, this new boy was different. He looked around at us, one by one. He was sad, of course, like anyone who has been away from home for a long time, like anyone who is little more than a slave, like anyone who can't imagine what will become of him.

Answers:

since some of these details are not known

to interpret and share real events

to bring Iqbal to life through descriptive detail and dialogue

to add details, such as characters' thoughts and feelings, to the story

to engage the reader by sharing his point of view about the topic

Which idea from this paragraph supports the claim that “smaller offices are more honest than big ones”? Small offices generally
pogonyaev

The idea that supports the claim that smaller offices are more honest than big ones is the last one, that small communities have more incentives against crime. The reason for this is that if a community has more incentives against crime than another, it is more likely to be more honest as crime is related to dishonesty and this is something the small communities try to avoid.
